Same square soul, 99 percent less ransom
Same square soul, 99 percent less ransom. That's the pitch, and honestly, it lands. The iconic square case keeps all its charm, but the price tag has been dragged out of the stratosphere and back down to where the rest of us live. It's the same inspiration, same silhouette, same reason you'd want it in the first place. You just don't need a second mortgage to get there. Is it the exact same thing? No, and that's fine. It's the version that says you can have nice things without the financial hostage situation. If you're the type who circles back to the cool thing and the honest take, this one's worth a closer look. And if you're already digging through our specs, you'll probably enjoy that walkie-talkie piece too.
G-Shock's CasiOak Gets Quieter, Sharper, and Finally Hits US Shelves
The G-Shock CasiOak just got quieter, sharper, and, at long last, it has actually landed on US shelves. The 2110 leans harder into that cleaner look with a simplified dial and a bezel that genuinely pops. I love a watch that knows what to remove. This one strips away the noise and dares you to just read the time. It is a refreshingly honest piece of design, though I am gently skeptical about how much "new" is actually under the hood. Still, for anyone who circled back to this model from afar, the wait is over. If you are in the mood for more devices that ignore your apps, our piece on the Light Phone snaps shut is a fine companion.
